Why don't you like him? Is it the swearing, or the fact that sometimes give bad reviews to games you think are good?

Whatever the case, smart or not, he deserves the title "The Angry Video Game Nerd".

I do agree. he definitely deserves his title, especially during his dick tracy episode. He really scared me at the end.

I find it stupid. I tried to watch him once, and it didn't entertain me at all. I find the swearing just plain pointless and dumb, I couldn't even finish the episode. I don't get what you guys see in him, but I can't for the life of me think of any way of describing him that sounds funny.

Exactly, I like someone like Spoony better. He's a hillarious man to watch especially since he doesn't use scatological humor in his videos.

If you don't like the newer, cuss-filled videos, at least watch the earlier videos, like from 2007. It doesn't have as much swearing, and has some more action, like Halloween and Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout.

He really isn't all that funny. I mean some of his reivews are good, but most of the time he just seems whiny.

bignatealpha : At first I was kinda skeptical of that post, but now I get you. For those of you that know, James has another guy named Mike Matei and he holds James's Facebook, emails, YT account and stuff, now a few months ago I watched his Waynes World review and honestly? If you took out all the video clips, then you'd have around five minutes of the review. And that part was awful, so I messaged him and I gave him a little constructive critcism and he does the most mature thing ever. He blocks me and removes me off James's friends list. And honestly he just rides over James's coat tails, and honestly his drawings aren't that great if you wanna see someone with really good review drawings I recommend going to NostalgiaCritc's reviews.

If you wanna see a reviewer that's good at reviewing games watch Stanburdman, SpoonyOne, ClassicGameRoom.

I don't really care much for avgn. I would rather play games than watch someone else anyway. Besides Theres better things to watch.

Best... Guy... Ever!

The AVGN kicks so much ass and I really like him. He's awesome, he swears a lot and it's funny, he is true about those horrifying games and I really like watching him. I can't wait for the next episode.

AVGN's older video's were hilarious, but lately you could tell that he was getting burned out trying to make deadlines with games that he probably doesn't care about one way or the other, so the anger is kind of forced. I think him taking a month off from the videos and only makiing 1 a month is a good idea. The quality of the reviews will likely improve.

He did introduce me to the Nostalgia Critic though, who somehow seems to say at about the same level, despite all of the stuff he is constantly churning out. The First Critic Nerd battle was 31 flavours of awesome though. The River City Ransom block off nearly made me cry.

he is really funny in my opinion but you can tell that he is a good person and not as mad as he seems to be its a charecter he has fun with.

Recently watched it again and "I GET IT NOW, IT IS THE YEAR 2010 ".

No seriously .

I watch him for the humor of him reviewing games I never played before listening to him (Epxect Little red hood, but I never got pass the 1st stage).

I just wish he reviews another good game again (like SMB3, but maybe Sonic 3 and K this time).

But some episodes he just do too much drama, like that Bug bunny crazy castle one.

I personally love the videos. Although there are some episodes which are decent, he retains a high level of quality. He is very funny in my opinion and I hope he continues with what he's doing.

I enjoy his videos, what I DON'T enjoy is that a lot of people don't really realize that he is EMBELLISHING the truth, or accentuating the bad of particular games for comedy. Some people that watch his videos see him swearing and carrying on and they automatically think it sucks or all old games suck, when JAMES himself doesn't even think that.

I just wish that people would wake up and get the dang joke.
